Development of potent small molecule inhibitors of protein-protein interactions with optimized druglike properties represents a challenging task in lead optimization process. Here, we report synthesis and structure-based optimization of new thienopyrimidine class of compounds, which block the protein-protein interaction between menin and MLL fusion proteins that plays an important role in acute leukemias with MLL translocations. We performed simultaneous optimization of both activity and druglike properties through systematic exploration of substituents introduced to the indole ring of lead compound 1 (MI-136) to identify compounds suitable for in vivo studies in mice. This work resulted in the identification of compound 27 (MI-538), which showed significantly increased activity, selectivity, polarity, and pharmacokinetic profile over 1 and demonstrated a pronounced effect in a mouse model of MLL leukemia. This study, which reports detailed structure-activity and structure-property relationships for the menin-MLL inhibitors, demonstrates challenges in optimizing inhibitors of protein-protein interactions for potential therapeutic applications.

New metabolism blocked antifolates and their salts are provided along with new indications (coronary heart disease, cardiovascular diseases, stroke and termination of tubal or ectopic pregnancy) and methods (sublingual dosage forms, filmstrips or patches) for their use and delivery. Sublingual dosage forms or trans-dermal patches of metabolically blocked entities of this invention offer superior alternatives to traditional oral dosage forms to achieve greater and predictable therapeutic efficacy, lower toxicity and to overcome drug resistance by virtue of elimination of oxidative deactivation and production of toxic metabolites. Metabolism blocked antifolates bearing a fluorinated benzene ring, a thiophene ring, a pyrrole ring, a furan ring or a 8-deazapteridine ring that are provided in this invention are not previously described. The use of metabolism blocked antifolates to terminate medically complicated pregnancies that are taught herein are new inventions targeted to eliminate drug related toxicity to the host and to enhance therapeutic efficacy.

This invention relates to a process for synthesizing certain folic acid analogues, which are useful in treating cancer, inflammatory diseases, autoimmune diseases, and are commonly referred to as antifolates. The process employs improved steps for annulation, derivatization and addition reactions to produce the described antifolates from commonly available starting materials.
